i dont know if its hype. its seems like a very deliberate form of technical marketing. when I was being programmed to be a Googler, they stood up in front of us and listed all the foundational contributions the Google made out of whole cloth, and could only keep repeating 'but, but, but..' to myself. (which isn't to say there isn't alot of new technical meat behind them, but collectively they sure do rush to claim exclusive credit) thanks for the thesis pointer, i went down the distributed dataflow path later (but also before Google), and I'd love to read it.
